Reddit for mountain bikers.

Please be sure to read the sidebar before posting. As much as we love helping each other out, we really hate repeating ourselves.

Please follow proper reddiquette, and if you haven't already, take a moment to read our wiki page and learn a bit about the site's history. As is the case with most subreddits, this community is best viewed without Reddit Enhancement Suite.

Remember to vote based on quality, not opinion, and keep your submission titles factual and opinion-free.

Do not downvote opinions just because you disagree with them, or mass-downvote someone else's posts. (It's obvious and tacky.)

Be generous with upvotes. They are free, after all.

Do not submit screenshots, pictures with superimposed text, or any other photo/video that doesn't help r/mtb grow as a community. This includes image macros, Rage Comics, meme pics, comments with meme speak, and static bike and trail photos.

If you want to submit a photo of your bike or where you ride, submit your link as a text post and include details and context. The general rule is photo and video submissions to /r/mtb should be of people riding mountain bikes.

As is the policy for all Reddit communities, blogspam is forbidden. (Ditto for craigslist ads.) And go easy with the links to PinkBike and Vital. If a video has a few thousand views, chances are we've all already seen it.

Need helping choosing a bike, or want advice on technique, gear, or cycling etiquette? Please post in the Weekly New Rider Thread, posted each Monday by /u/mtbot.
